La Habana (Havana), the Cuban capital

The most celebrated (and visited) tomb, that of Señora Amelia Goyri, better known as La Milagrosa (the miraculous one), who died while giving birth on 3 May 1901, features a marble figure of a woman with a large cross and a baby in her arms. When the bodies were exhumed some years later, Amelia’s body was uncorrupted (a sign of sanctity in the Catholic faith) and the baby, who had been buried at its mother’s feet, was allegedly found in her arms. La Milagrosa became the focus of a huge spiritual cult in Cuba.
